One of Kemtile’s most experienced Account managers, Dave Sleight, has been promoted to the role of Key Account Manager.
With an impressive 40 years’ experience in the construction and specialist flooring industry, Dave has a proven track record of building long-standing customer relationships and delivering practical, innovative, and reliable solutions that add real value.
Dave started out his career in 1986 and over that period he has enjoyed many roles, within the industrial flooring industry. Dave Says “I started work as a young 17-year-old site operator then decided to make this a career and trained up with some of the best in the industry and became a resin installer before becoming a general site foreman. I then moved into the contract management side, first as a supervisor then as a manager and after that specialising in technical sales and advice.”
He joined Kemtile in 2019 as a Contracts Manager bringing in-depth knowledge of high-performance resin flooring, tiled surfaces, and stainless-steel drainage installations.
His depth of industry knowledge, combined with a down-to-earth and customer-focused approach, makes him ideally placed to support a range of existing clients across all sectors who know the importance he places on seamless delivery, due diligence on budgeting, health and safety and longevity of solutions.
In his new role, Dave will work closely with key customers to ensure continuity, consistency, and champion the benefits of strong partnerships.
He brings in-depth knowledge of high-performance resin flooring, tiled surfaces, and stainless-steel drainage systems across a range of industries, including food and beverage, commercial, logistics, and healthcare.
Dave is well used to working with project teams, contractors, and decision-makers and specialises in end-to-end project management, from initial specifications and material procurement to on-site execution and quality assurance.
Commenting on his promotion Dave said: “Kemtile has always prided itself on long-term collaboration and trust, and my new responsibilities to important clients reinforces this commitment. I am looking forward to continuing in helping current clients benefit from the full strength of the Kemtile and Stonhard ‘single source’ meaning customers have one guarantee for both Materials and Installation.
Director Jamie Cook, who has worked with Dave for many years said the role was fully deserved. He commented: “We are delighted to welcome Dave into this role and look forward to the positive impact his experience and expertise will bring to our existing customers and new projects in the years ahead.”
In late 2025 Dave was asked to join the board at FeRFA, the Resin Flooring Association. Established over 50 years ago, Dave said “I have been involved with companies that are FeRFA members throughout my entire career and It’s a real honour to be invited onto the board of FeRFA and being in a position to be able to support our industry with my knowledge and experience”.
FeRFA represents the pinnacle of quality and expertise in the resin flooring, surface preparation, and screeding industries. Its membership comprises the leading manufacturers, contractors, and associated companies who are committed to delivering exceptional quality and service.
